Seth Lloyd onderzoekt de diepgaande kruising van informatie en complexe systemen, met een bijzondere focus op kwantumfenomenen. Zichzelf beschrijvend als een "kwantummonteur", is zijn werk baanbrekend op het gebied van kwantumcomputatie en -communicatie. Hij onderzoekt hoe kwantumprincipes complexe uitdagingen kunnen aangaan en stelt innovatieve methoden voor foutcorrectie en ruisonderdrukking in kwantumsystemen voor. Zijn onderzoek opent nieuwe wegen voor toekomstige technologieën.
Every atom and elementary particle stores these bits, and every collision between those atoms and particles flips the bits into a new arrangement and effortlessly spins out beautiful and complex systems, including galaxies, planets and life itself.
Exploring the concept that the universe functions as a vast quantum computer, the author presents a thought-provoking theory where particle interactions convey both energy and information. This perspective suggests that the universe is continuously computing its own evolution, leading to the unfolding of reality itself. The book offers an accessible and original vision of existence, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of the world around them.
Exploring the concept of collapse, this book delves into financial systems and natural phenomena through the lens of mathematical logic. Seth Lloyd, a prominent figure in physics, examines how various structures, from economies to ecosystems, can deteriorate. By intertwining scientific principles with real-world examples, the author provides a thought-provoking analysis of the fragility of systems and the underlying patterns that govern their downfall.
